Fulham could be about to make a second offer for Chelsea’s Callum Hudson-Odoi.
That is according to a report from The Guardian.
They claim that Fulham were unsuccessful with their opening bid for Callum Hudson-Odoi, with Chelsea rejecting the approach from their London rivals.
It is understood that Marco Silva’s side are ‘likely’ to return with a higher bid, though.
The report adds that the 22-year-old Blues winger is also attracting transfer interest this summer from Crystal Palace, AC Milan and Nottingham Forest.
The Athletic recently claimed that Hudson-Odoi believes his time at Chelsea has now come to an end.
It certainly looks that way after he was omitted from this summer’s pre-season trip to the United States, too.
The Blues academy graduate has always been tipped as an individual with high potential, something we’ve seen in glimpses during 126 first-team appearances for the club. In fact, he was once described as “outstanding” by Thomas Tuchel, as quoted by The Express.
He was sent out on loan last season to German side Bayer Leverkusen, but a disappointing year means he looks like he’s taken quite a step back.
We agree with the general consensus that now is the time to sell him, which would be the right call for all parties.
Hopefully, Fulham can get closer to Chelsea’s demands for Hudson-Odoi this summer.
With just one year left on his contract and the fact that he’s pushing to leave, it’s a no-brainer to sell this summer.
Our early prediction is the speedster can be a success at Craven Cottage and rebuild his career if he can some regular minutes in the wide positions.
